abstract

We argue that the $\Lambda$CDM tensions of the Hubble-Lemaitre expansion rate $H_0$ and the clustering normalization $\sigma_8$ can be eased, at least in principle, by considering an interaction between dark energy and dark matter in such a way to induce a small and positive early effective equation of state and a weaker gravity. For a dark energy scalar field $\phi$ interacting with dark matter through an exchange of both energy and momentum, we derive a general form of the Lagrangian allowing for the presence of scaling solutions. In a subclass of such interacting theories, we show the existence of a scaling $\phi$-matter-dominated-era ($\phi$MDE) which can potentially alleviate the $H_0$ tension by generating an effective high-redshift equation of state. We also study the evolution of perturbations for a model with $\phi$MDE followed by cosmic acceleration and find that the effective gravitational coupling relevant to the linear growth of large-scale structures can be smaller than the Newton gravitational constant $G$ at low redshifts. The momentum exchange between dark energy and dark matter plays a crucial role for realizing weak gravity, while the energy transfer is also required for the existence of $\phi$MDE.

  1. Disentangling Similarity and Relatedness in Topic Models

    cs.CL 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Topic models lie on a spectrum from thematic-relatedness-rich to similarity-rich, and that position predicts which downstream tasks they handle well.

  2. Phantom-divide crossing and suppressed structure growth in kinetically braided dark energy with momentum exchange

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A linearly stable kinetic-braiding dark-energy model with CDM momentum exchange realizes upward phantom-divide crossing and weak CDM gravitational clustering, altering matter and CMB spectra.

  3. Revisiting observational constraints on coupled exponential quintessence with energy and momentum transfers: degeneracy with massive neutrinos

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Allowing the neutrino mass to vary removes the 2σ evidence for momentum transfer between dark energy and dark matter in coupled quintessence, via a degeneracy with the energy-exchange coupling.

  4. Dark sector interactions in the $w \rightarrow -1$ limit: velocity locking in pure momentum exchange models

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In momentum-exchange dark sector models, the suppression of matter clustering moves to smaller scales as w→−1 due to velocity locking, and ignoring DE perturbations erases this effect.

  5. Geometric formulation of $k$-essence and late-time acceleration

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Integrable vectorial nonmetricity gravity is shown to be equivalent to purely kinetic quadratic k-essence, which fits late-time data as well as ΛCDM.

  6. Dark matter-baryons elastic coupling

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new dark-matter–baryon momentum-transfer interaction suppresses small-scale clustering and is mildly preferred by data when a low-redshift S8 measurement is included.

  7. Modified theories of gravity at different curvature scales

    gr-qc 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    A review that classifies modified gravity theories by the GR principles they preserve or violate, and maps their tests onto a curvature-compactness plane.
